Here are the firearms rules I use: In my game, which is set in the late renaissance, firearms do exploding damage like in Spelljammer. All firearms deal 1d10 damage and if you roll a 10 you reroll and add. Firing a gun produces 10' of lightly obscuring smoke for 1 round. Also firearms have...

Very interesting! My world also parallels yours in some ways. In my game orcs are also boarlike. One of the religions in my world teaches that the orcs were created when the sun god cast a legion of demons out of a savage barbarian king and into a herd of pigs. All of the demon-pigs were...

I'd love to have a PC get swallowed by a giant zombie worm. That would be so disgusting/awesome. Instead of a poison tail, it could be disease. Being swallowed by the giant zombie worm would also definitely require save vs disease. The thing could also have an overpowering stench ability.

In my game, there are humans and larger proto-races that encompass the D&D races as well as some others. The larger racial groupings have no mechanical benefits, but just organizes them in my world. All non-human PC races were once human but were altered by sorcery in the distant past. There...

They don't intentionally use anything that doesn't make the top 32, and if you're a top-32 contestant, then they will credit you if they publish any of your work. I had a magic item published by Paizo in Kobold Quarterly back when I was in the top 32. The article was Magic Items of Golarion or...

Wow. I'm amazed that site even existed and that it stuck around for so long. I thought the d20srd site was the only option for online content like that since they worked within the OGL. I don't think anyone can make a legitimate complaint that WotC asked them to take down all the non-OGL rules info.

There are a couple important distinctions. If you use the OGL in any way, you have to follow the OGL rules. I think this means you cannot use the term "D&D" or DM. This is why no one says "compatible with xe D&D. The OGL forbids it. Kobold Press published 4e compatible content using the OGL. The...

I'd like to see your take on the dolgaunt from Eberron. D&D 3.5 version: http://thecreaturechronicle.tumblr.com/post/37906949267/foulspawn-dolgaunt D&D 4e version: http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ex/20090626 Pathfinder conversion...

My healing house rules are pretty simple. On page 186 of the Player's Handbook, I make this change: "At the end of a long rest, a character regains all lost hit points. The character also regains spent Hit Dice, up to a number of dice equal to half of the character’s total number of them. For...

Option 1: +1d4 dmg to each hit with that weapon for one minute. Option 2: victim takes 1d4 damage each round for a minute (maybe a save can end it) Option3: victim takes 1d4 damage and gains the poisoned condition. Option 4: +1d4 dmg one time. Need another dose to inflict that damage. Ask your...

I'd really, really like to see a HotDQ style adventure book for Eberron, with an accompanying Players Guide. Every homebrew game I run ends up having elements of Eberron. In my current game a Daelkyr style story is the major plot device.

I am a huge fan of the decision for more art, better art, and bigger art. The art in both the PHB and MM have blown me away, with only a few exceptions, and it's head and shoulder above any other game books I own (I heard Numenera has good art as well, but I'm not that interested in the game). I...

I sent an email to Bill to let him know about this thread. I'm sure the OP's email fell through the cracks or ended up in a spam folder or something. In my experience, Frog God Games has always been good about replying quickly.

Except, of course, @Elf Witch didn't say that. In fact, that's what the "quote" button is for: so you can "quote" someone instead of putting words in their mouth. It's ok to have a discussion about aesthetics. There is no need for you to step in and declare the conversation over. People are...

I think artists portray anthropomorphic creatures in different ways. If the creature is meant to be more alien or monstrous it probably would have fewer features consistent withhumans.

I'm sure if you contact Frog God Games they can help you out. They've been nothing but awesome any time I contacted them.

You may be right, but I think that's the idea behind it: get new players to try out D&D. Maybe a more casual approach would work better? And I wasn't thinking anyone would choose to play D&D instead of Magic when they went in to play, but they no doubt see the games going on and I'm sure some...

I'll be running this one too, once my PCs are higher level. It looks a little overwhelming with the different adventure tracks, so I'm going to try and sit down and figure out where everything fits together and what happens when my PCs invariably go off the rails.

I think it's good to think of a sandbox game as a map with terminals and a number of different railroads the players can get on. And they can choose to ride that rail as far as they want. If they get off at the next station, then great, but if they jump off in the middle, then you have to think...

I think it's perfect for all those Magic players.
